Before
working in Ivory coast as a church planter, Michel and
Louise worked with the Interior Missions department of
the PAOC in Quebec. They worked with a group called Gaspe
Outreach and started churches in cities such as Matane
and Amqouie. After having graduated from College Biblique
Québec in 1980, Michel became the pastor of these newly
founded churches. The Lord called him to Africa and then
to Haiti in 1996. (left) The
